With the integrated Bluetooth Aruba Beacon, the 27 Series provides advanced location and indoor wayfinding, and proximity-based push notification services while simplifying the remote management of battery-powered Aruba Beacons. It enables businesses to leverage mobility context to develop applications that will deliver an enhanced user experience and increase the value of the wireless network for organizations. UNIQUE BENEFITS Dual Radio 82.11ac Access Point --Supports up to 867 Mbps in the GHz band (with 2SS/VHT8 clients) and up to 4 Mbps in the 2.4GHz band (with 2SS/VHT4 clients). Built-in Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) radio --Enables location-based services with BLE-enabled mobile devices receiving signals from multiple Aruba Beacons at the same time. --Enables management of a network of Aruba Beacons. Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC) --Minimizes interference from 3G/4G cellular networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment. Quality of Service for Unified Communication apps --Supports priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Skype for Business, with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing. RF Management --Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology automatically assigns channel and power settings, provides airtime fairness, and ensures that APs stay clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable, high-performance WLANs. --The Aruba 27 Series APs can be configured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are not available. Intelligent app visibility and control --AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for thousands of applications in a range of categories.
ARUBA 27 SERIES ACCESS POINTS Security --Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF sensors and security appliances. --IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing comprehensive protection against advanced online threats. --Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys. CHOOSE YOUR OPERATING MODE Aruba 27 Series APs offer a choice of operating modes to meet your unique management and deployment requirements. Controller-managed mode When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, Aruba 27 Series APs offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding. Aruba Instant mode In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the other APs the entire process takes about five minutes. If WLAN requirements change, a built-in migration path allows 27 Series Instant APs to become part of a WLAN that is managed by a Mobility Controller. Remote AP (RAP) for branch deployments. Air monitor (AM) for wireless IDS, rogue detection and containment. Secure enterprise mesh. For large installations across multiple sites, the Aruba Activate service significantly reduces deployment time by automating device provisioning, firmware upgrades, and inventory management. With Aruba Activate, Instant APs are factoryshipped to any site and configure themselves when powered up.
